Bank thinks they gave too much money

I went to the bank about a week ago and took out a chunk of cash. Well i got a call from the bank later that day and they said they think they gave me $2000 too much. Problem is i just go and put the money in a safe deposit box and generally dont count it.(i know stupid) but when i counted everything in my deposit box, i do not see how i could have an extra 2000 lying around in there since i know around what i normally keep.

Well i called the bank 4 days later as they hadnt called and they said that the investigation department is looking into and should have a final answer today, the lady helping me said that they wont even let her see the video though, let alone me. So I would hate to rip somebody off, but I dont think i have an extra 2 grand in there. What right does the bank have to say thats our money give it back if they dont have proof or are unwilling to show me the proof? If its theirs then they can have it but at least show me the video. From my understanding the video is unclear.

The only thing I want to see it the evidence, but my main question is what if they are unwilling to show me the video? If they did give 5k instead of 7k and they want my own 2k then I feel I should get to see a video of them giving me more money.

So what your saying is, regardless of if they bank gave me more money or not, the courts would take the banks side; unless I stated they only gave me the exact amount. Even if im not 100% positive?

Im not trying to be rude, I appreciate your help, but I really just dont understand.

You're making this complicated when it is simple.

Let's go over this again.

I am the judge.

The bank comes in and says, "Our stupid teller...who we fired, by the way...gave jojo99 $7K when he only had $5K in his account. So he owes us $2K."

Me: "Do you have any video?"

Bank: "Yeah. I mean, yes, Your Honor."

(We all watch the video.)

Me: "That's not real clear. It doesn't help you or hurt jojo99. Got anything else?"

Bank: "Yes. Here is the reconciliation from the stupid teller's drawer."

One last question, when the "investigation department" lets me know, if they do say I owe them 2k and are unwilling to show the video. What should my response be, and what should I start to do? Do they have the right to take it out of my account?

I appreciate your help with this, and sorry for barage of questions that apparently are all asking the same thing.

So there is no need to see the video. It's a security thing. Stop obsessing on that video; since it doesn't help or hurt you, just forget about it.

Just for the record, transfering thousands of dollars to a safety deposit box sounds might awkward. If you are dealing in some cash heavy business, I am still not clear how you are managing your cash hoard... if you don't count it...

A 2K drawer shortfall... well... why don't you call the police. Beat em to the punch. Because receiving a 50 instead of a 20 is a mistake, but giving 7k instead of 5k is insider bank robbery.

Im not some big cash handler, or drug dealer. Im nowhere near either of those, but I had to move money around recently and my count was off so i estimated until i had time to count everything. Coulda shoulda woulda. The point was If I did get it, I would like proof. I have no problem giving back their money if it is their money.

Seniorjudge has helped tremendously and I think him/her, I now await the call from the bank.

thanks for the advice.

I didn't accuse you of anything. But you are going to be asked to account for the cash.

You didn't anwer my question. So I ask again.

Did you receive a receipt with the withdrawal amount of 5000 dollars on it and if so do you have it?

If you did and do, I think you could be ok.

Also, do you disagree with me that this dispute could escalate to a criminal matter? Do you know the teller? Ever have relations with them? Anything that could even be construed in that way?
